The application solves what I had long considered to be a missed opportunity on del.icio.us, that is additively relating objects through multiple tags. It's quite beautiful to navigate as well... I'm attaching a screenshot. <img alt="6pli" id="image75" src="http://www.formfollowsbehavior.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/6pli.png" /> Thanks for the link, Greg.

The tag cloud is one method by which to visualize folksonomies. Yet while it is a literal container of meaning, it is not free of metaphoric meaning. As a targeted and mediated construction, it not only conveys identity, but also suggests on behalf of its users an interest in expressing their own identity, as well as in crafting it through careful curation of categories and objects. Involuntarily, it expresses and demonstrates aspects of social constructionism.
